Belmond Sanctuary Lodge

Description

Belmond Machu Picchu Sanctuary Lodge sits alone at the entrance to the world’s most famous Inca citadel. As the only hotel standing adjacent to the formidable Urubmamba mountain range and tumbling stone steps of Machu Picchu, the lodge’s location is unbeatable. The property has been sensitively incorporated into the hillside, offering guests demure, mellow rooms and flourishing gardens overlooking the verdant hollows of forested mountain slopes. Many rooms face Huyana Picchu – the impossibly steep peak and hauntingly beautiful icon of the Andes panorama. Wake early and enjoy breakfast on your terrace while watching the dawn break through a cloak of darkness. By day, explore the Incan ruins – arrive before the hoards and leave long after they depart and then watch silence fall over the region from your outdoor hot tub.

In Addition

Being so close to this spectacular Peruvian mountain range, guests can embark on numerous treks up and down the region’s giant formations. Huayna Picchu, or ‘Young Mountain’ is a particularly popular and rewarding trip. The one hour climb ascends rock formed stairways of the most recognisable mountain in Machu Picchu – Huayna Picchu flanks the background of every iconic image of the citadels; its angular peak is instantly recognisable and the trail itself provides unbeatable views across the Inca ruins. Machu Picchu Sanctuary Lodge also acts as an ideal base for those who prefer the luxury of locality; guests can divide their Incan exploration between lunch, afternoon tea, cocktail hour and an hour or two in the outdoor hot tub - a luxury visitors from further afield have to do without.
